patients treated with methotrexate?
Signed, LE

Doctor's Response:

No medications have been found that
are accepted or effective in treating scleroderma in all patients.
Methotrexate is one of a number of medicines that are used. The effectiveness
would only be adequate in a minority of persons. It is most effective when
used early in the disease.
